TLDR
Smith and Nuthall as discussed by the authors conducted an extensive study of classroom verbal behavior conducted at the University of Illinois (Smith, et al., 1964, 1967), which was concerned with identifying and isolating the teaching strategies which were evident in the subject-matter content of teacher-student interaction.Abstract:
The experiment which is reported here2 was based on an extensive study of classroom verbal behavior conducted at the University of Illinois (Smith, et al., 1964, 1967; Nuthall, 1966b). Part of the Illinois study was concerned with identifying and isolating the teaching strategies which were evident in the subject-matter content of teacher-pupil interaction. The purpose of this experiment was to explore the relationships which might occur between variations in such "teaching strategies" and student learning. In the University of Illinois study, Smith and his associates used as raw data extensive tape-recordings of high-school lessons. Five consecutive lessons were recorded in each of 17 different classes representing different curriculum areas and different types of high schools.read more

Experimental Factors Related to Aptitude-Treatment Interactions
TL;DR: The concept of aptitude treatment interactions (ATI) was introduced by Bloom and Jensen as mentioned in this paper, who found significant disordinal interactions between alternative treatments and personological variables, i.e., to develop alternative instructional programs so that optimal educational payoff is obtained when students are assigned differently to the alternative programs.

Achievement Treatment Interactions
TL;DR: A review of the literature on adapting instruction to the student can be found in this paper, with a focus on adapting the method of instruction to student characteristics rather than on a systematically formulated set of precepts.

5: Evaluation of Classroom Instruction
TL;DR: In this paper, four potential uses of these instruments are described and examples are given of each: assessing variability in classroom behavior, assessing whether the teacher's performance agrees with specified criteria, describing classroom interaction, and determining relationships between observed classroom behavior and outcome measures.

3: Trait-Treatment Interaction and Learning:
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of instructional alternatives or treatments need to be incorporated into research designs in order to determine those treatments that are particularly beneficial for particular subgroups of learners.

A Review of Research on Lecturing
TL;DR: The effectiveness of lecturing in comparison with other teaching methods and the differences between more effective and less effective lecturing are discussed in this paper. But the focus of this paper is not on the quality of the lecturing, but on the content coverage, clarity, expressiveness, and management.

Statistical Principles in Experimental Design
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the principles of estimation and inference: means and variance, means and variations, and means and variance of estimators and inferors, and the analysis of factorial experiments having repeated measures on the same element.
